Subject: can "IMAGE_INSTALL ?= ..." not be written in a more obvious way?
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 06:40:27 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.20.1612100630310.23762@localhost.localdomain> (raw)


  i've nattered about this before but not sure i ever got an answer --
here's the last bit of core-image.bbclass:

  CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
    packagegroup-core-boot \
    packagegroup-base-extended \
    \
    ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
    '

  CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""

  IMAGE_INSTALL ?= "${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL}"

the first time i saw that (long ago), it took me a few looks to figure
out what was happening. can this not be written in a more obvious way:

  CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
    packagegroup-core-boot \
    packagegroup-base-extended \
    '

  CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""

  IMAGE_INSTALL ?= " \
    ${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL} \
    ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
    "

is that not equivalent, or am i missing something? it's certainly
clearer as to what's happening if people are perusing the code.
